I imagine my sister Susan today, standing without her walker, breathing without an oxygen tube, enjoying something delicious to eat without taking her glucose levels, feeling her heart beating in heavenly rhythms without skipping a beat perhaps even standing in a heavenly kitchen looking through a sun-filled window as she prepares to welcome her beloved Tim who has been patiently waiting for her arrival
They watch us through heavenly windows as we cling to this earthly life.. as we think this is the 'good life ' as we weep their sudden loss from our lives as we feel the sting and loss of separation
Susan left us early, just before first light on Saturday morning in my holy imagination I witness her today standing in this light, at a window where love pours in, where hope means that 'to be absent in this earthly body, means presence in a realm that I am only able to write about, see or feel in short expressions of transcendence, but someday will know for myself in full expansion.'
I witness Susan's light in this art work by Kaoru Yamada, as she flows freely uninhibited by disease, preparing a feast today where love is the centerpiece, the table and the banquet....
